Date of Evaluation: December 9, 2024
Mrs. Ae attended her consultation due to a recent denial of her life insurance application. She indicated that this denial was a result of her mention of experiencing depression in her application. During the evaluation, Mrs. Ae expressed her concerns and clarified her emotional state, stating:
"I am here because I applied for life insurance and was denied because they said I mentioned depression in my application."
Mrs. Ae further elaborated on her circumstances, citing the emotional impact of her brother's passing last July in Korea. She reflected on her grief, recognizing it as a source of her temporary emotional distress:
"I lost my brother in Korea last July and was depressed at that time due to the fact that I lost my brother.”
However, she emphasized that her situation has improved since then:
"I have been doing well as I grieved the loss of my brother."
Upon further inquiry, she firmly stated:
"I do not have any mental health issues and I was only missing my brother."
To gain a comprehensive understanding of Mrs. Ae's mental health, standardized assessment tools were utilized. The general health questionnaire and specific anxiety measures (PHQ-9 for depression and GAD-7 for anxiety) were administered on two occasions: December 9, 2024, and December 16, 2024. The results from these assessments indicated that Mrs. Ae does not exhibit symptoms consistent with clinical depression or significant anxiety.
Based on the information provided by Mrs. Ae during the evaluation and the results of the administered assessments, it is concluded that she does not currently suffer from clinical depression or anxiety disorders. Her emotional response appears to be a natural reaction to the loss of her brother, rather than a chronic mental health issue.
It is recommended that Mrs. Ae continues to engage in supportive emotional processing as she navigates her grief and maintains her mental well-being.
